Back now

Just want to point out something from my experience.

On about April 14, I switched out about half of my Adsense pages to rival adserver. Noted that my Adsense stats had remained the same, even after dumping about 50% of them. Just checked today, and all my Adsense stats were much lower, starting the 23rd, by more than half. Impressions, page views, earnings all at record (for me) lows. Impression and page RPM also heading lower.

My suspicion is that the stats presented by Adsense are about a week behind, which would not surprise me. Google never said their stats were real time or delayed or anything. That's it for me. I'm in the process of taking Adsense off the rest of my pages (many hand-coded, but I'm changing that also).

It was a nice run, as they say. Good luck to those still earning from Adsense.

Here's the real kicker. Moments ago, Google announced record profits for the 1st quarter. Thanks for sharing!

> Google announced record profits for the 1st quarter

So that is where my money went.
I made around $1500 /mo for over 10 years and now since 18 march just under $50 /mo (with 400 000 uniques a month from organic search alone), no warnings, no notifications, no human reply, nothing, just money gone !

Our Adsense stats are frozen (not completely but like down 90% compared to yesterday) for about 16 hours now. Traffic is normal and it appears that all ad slots are filled.

I hope this gets resolved

Yes i think sometimes its unfrozen but later again frozen. Dont know. Weird week.

It s frozen because of climate change I think

Seriously April 24 is ending -10 % vs April 23 (SEO conditions)

I am 50% down on ‘23

I'm up +2% (finally!) this month. SERP changes have really hurt this year as has the CPM switch.

The only things that have helped traffic/conversions are global instability and the weather getting nicer. So the winning formula for me seems to be WWIII fought only on sunny, beautiful days.

Plummeting! Down 20% from last April.

Our issue with earnings suddenly dropping by 95% on Thursday/Friday is resolved.

Our CMP hadn't been updated to the latest version (including consent mode V2) and after upgrading to the latest version our earnings went up like before. I think the "anti fraud" AI might probably look at the CMP / consent mode used.

Probably only relevant for pages publishing in the EU

Finishing -61% April 2024 vs April 2023, and April 2023 was a really bad month, so that tells you everything.

How was this April vs 2023 for you?

@allhearts Not too much of a drop here, -4.9% April 2024 vs April 2023

End with +35%, RPM Higher but y Need to improve my visits, I have lost 12% of page view (compared with April 2023).

Lowest April day today probably because of beeing the last day of the month

Ending the month down 19% Over April 2023.
